I find this entire thread very clearly explained in Romans
beginning about 2:10.
The Jews had the Law.  Even though the gentiles did
not there action revels that there is Law written
in their hearts.  By these laws they will be judged.
Romans 3:20 says that the purpose of the Law is to show
sin and none are made right by it.  It removes all
excuses and brings all under the judgement of God.
Man's getting put right with God has nothing to
do with the law (3:22) but salvation comes from faith
in Christ.

So yes, there are many "systems" that try to bring man
into congruence with "his" law but none of them bring
man to righteousness with God.
